Abstract
Established populations of crop plant autotetraploids all possess multivalents. However, there is a seeming excess of bivalents in many instances, which is not readily accounted for in theory. To the small number of species, among the auto-tetraploids of which there is quantified information concerning chromosome pairing pattern may now be addedPennisetum typhoides (Burm.) S. & H. (source diploid IP 1475).
